Not to be confused with St Finbarr's Gaelic Football Club.

St Finbarr's National Hurling & Football Club[1][2] or St Finbarr's Hurling and Football Club[3] is a Gaelic games club based in the Togher area of Cork city, County Cork, Ireland. Playing in royal blue and gold jerseys, St Finbarr's fields teams in the sports of Gaelic football and hurling.

It was the first club to win All-Ireland Club Championships in both hurling and football. It was the only club to have achieved this feat until Dublin's Cuala did so in by winning the 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.[4] St Finbarr's won Cork Senior County Championship titles in every decade except the first decade of the 21st century. This record was almost upheld in 2009 when the club reached the Cork County Senior Football Championship final, only to lose to Clonakilty by one point.

Between 1980 and 1982, St Finbarr's won three consecutive Cork County Hurling Championship titles. This feat was not been repeated until Imokilly did so between 2017 and Vincent’s
